| The Only Knife You Need to Own  The subject line here is about a type of knife. In a world full of good knife makers I would never be arrogant enough to say I think there is a single item out there that has achieved some sort of "perfect knifeness" or whatever the Platonic ideal of a knife is. Specifically I'm talking about chef's knives. A big, sharp chef's knife is the most versatile tool in a knife block. It can do everything from break down a chicken, to chop parsley, to peel a potato in a pinch. There are good reasons to own other knives, like a serrated or paring blade, but a good chef's knife is the must-have, stranded-on-a-desert-island knife—if for no other reason than it's the one you could use to open a coconut if you had to.
Over the years we've tested loads of chef's knives, but we keep coming back to the same ones as our top picks no matter what we try. Check them all out below, including a light but strong Japanese-style knife, a true budget option from Victorinox that is always in the Epi test kitchen, and a heavier German-style knife for those of you who want a little more weight. And if you want to know more about how we tested, what else we liked, and what we didn't, click through and read the full review.
